When it comes to American cars, the Dodge Avenger is about as pure as you can get, as a 2014 report by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports the sedan sources 76 percent of its parts content from the U.S. and Canada. Below, we’ve compiled the top 10 cars with the most North American parts content.

There’s no surprise the list is dominated by General Motors, Chrysler, and Ford cars, but some may be surprised to discover that some Honda and Toyota cars have as many North American-made parts as cars from the Detroit three. For example, the Avalon and Camry are listed as having 75 percent parts content from the U.S. and Canada, the same amount as the SRT Viper, Chevrolet Corvette, and Impala fleet car. Also worth noting is the fact that parts content percentage can vary within a single model range. For example, the Chrysler 200 sedan’s parts content totals 74 percent, while its drop-top counterpart totals 73 percent. Extra goodies that come with different trim levels can also bump down the parts content total. The CTS is listed as having 70 percent, but the CTS Premium drops it down to 65 percent.

Those with fewer than 5 percent North American parts content include several Porsches, Audis, Volkswagens, and Volvos, while it appears you won’t find even one American-made part in the Mercedes-Benz lineup.

The list comes from data automakers are required by law to submit, thanks to the American Automobile Labeling Act, and parts content percentages change from one year to the next. Last year, for example, the Toyota Avalon had 80 percent of its content derived from the U.S. and Canada, up 5 percent compared to the 2014 report. Keep in mind that this list only includes cars. Be sure to check back for a separate post on trucks, SUVs, and vans with the most North American parts content.
